The CHS students told the fourth-graders that learning computer coding can help them in their future careers. They then led a hands-on activity in which the middle school students wrote computer codes and portrayed robots to test the codes for accuracy.

The activity was part of Computer Science Education Week, which was the week of Dec. 6.

As part of the week, students worldwide were encouraged to participate in an Hour of Code, a hands-on experience learning to write computer code.

Hundreds of Kentucky schools, businesses and organizations have signed up to participate in the fourth year of the event.
